The detail

How do we do law firm SEO?

How we help you

Law firm SEO for UK solicitors, built for the AI search era. Get found in Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity and local search, with SRA-aware copy and honest, plain English from a Bristol-based agency working UK-wide.

Why this sector needs SEO in 2026

Buyers who used to type a service-name search into Google now also ask ChatGPT for a recommendation, scan Google AI Overviews, and check reviews before they ever click through. The firms winning right now appear across all of those surfaces.

SRA compliance

SRA rule 8.1 governs publicity and requires that anything you publish is accurate, not misleading, and does not claim a specialism the firm cannot evidence. SEO content written to that standard is fully compliant.

What this SEO programme covers

- **Local SEO and Google Business Profile.** The local map pack for 'near me' and town-level searches. - **Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO).** Structuring content so AI tools cite your firm. - **Technical SEO.** A fast, well-structured website with the right schema markup. - **Content SEO.** Practice-area pages, published case studies with real outcomes, and FAQs. - **Reviews and reputation.** Making them work as ranking signals across Google and the AI systems that read them.

How we work

1. A free 30-minute discovery call on your current visibility, competitors, keyword opportunities and AI-search foundations. 2. We sort the foundations: technical SEO, page structure, local citations, Google Business Profile. 3. We build content that converts, to an SRA-aware standard. 4. We report in plain English, monthly.
FOUND IN GOOGLE & AI

Will AI recommend your law firm business?

More of your customers now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google's AI for a law firm recommendation before they ever click a website. We build the structured, credible, well-cited content those assistants quote, so your business is the one they name. The answer-engine layer is included in every package, never sold as an extra.

Are we the right fit for your law firm business?

A good fit if you…
You want more of the right enquiries, not just more traffic or vanity metrics.
You want to be found in Google and in AI answers, and you value plain-English reporting.
You want a named person on your account who explains what they're doing and why.
Probably not for you if you…
You want guaranteed rankings by next month. SEO compounds, and we won't promise that.
You want the cheapest option over the one that actually works.
You're not ready to give access to your analytics and site, which we need to measure anything.

These are industry figures, not our own results, and we do not invent numbers. In regulated sectors the sale is slow and evidence-led, so being found and trusted early is most of the battle. No outcome is ever guaranteed.

“I've had the pleasure of working with Chris on several SEO projects for my websites in the health field. He was definitely been able to demystify things so that I felt able to make decisions with him and feel confident they were the right ones. For a non-techie, that is worth gold! I look forward to working with Chris again and warmly recommend him to anyone who - like me - is unsure about all things SEO.”

Biliana Avramova

“I was recommended by my branding partner to use Chris and his team last year. I can’t recommend them highly enough. They are very responsive , easy to communicate with and great at translating techy stuff when needed. They are now an essential part of my business model”

Sandra Webber

“We've been working closely with Chris, Hannah and the team for over 12 months now. As a small company with ambitious growth plans, it was incredibly important that we made the right choice on who to trust with our SEO. 18 months later, we're totally thrilled with our experience so far and our growing online presence within our market. We'd happily recommend BTT and their services to other SMEs. Drop them an enquiry!”
